Deck needs work. Saving an old version of it.

Gimli and Legolas! A long-expected friendship! Someone had to do it.

This deck is a terrible quester compared to most Spirit decks - designed to be played alongside a mono-Lore quest-and-card-draw deck. Yet another of my patented one-copy-of-everything-unique decks; Steward of Gondor is my only exception. There is still redundancy built-in, with

• Arwen Undómiel, Dwarven Shield, and from the other deck Protector of Lórien, all for defense
• Dwarven Shield and The Day's Rising for money, along with all the events and Steward of Gondor
• A bazillion ways to draw cards, plus Galadriel for hunting attachments.

About the Sideboard

Eldahir is expensive; could be interesting with mono-lore alongside, but with Gimli all beefed up, he shouldn't be needed. The rest of this is all junk now. As a reminder to myself, from most recent working backwards to oldest:

• Silvan Refugee doesn't work with Gandalf or Sneak Attack. Ethir Swordsman build up a little slow.
• Tactics Aragorn, all the other tactics, and Sword that was Broken are an interesting idea in theory. In practice, this deck is running few allies, so Sword is not interesting, and therefore 3-coloring Aragorn isn't a great plan.
• All of the dwarves and A Very Good Tale: good idea, but not in this deck, because there are too many attachments and events I want. They go nicely with We Are Not Idle, especially Fili and Kili, but they just aren't that strong when I only run a few of them.
• Reinforcements and Song of Kings: this was never a real option, but it theoretically went with the dwarf/Tale idea.
